Ah, good song. Have you lot had any of those yet? I seem to recall he sang about losing his brother in one of your failed attempts at Empire building on that album? Damn shame about that war eh? ...tick tock....tick tock....tick tock!

Just do the floors, it'll end quicker!

Sorry I'm late here. Nobody ever told you the pillow trick?....When needing to cough, place a pillow over your wounded area and pull hard towards yourself...and cough! This usually a 'torso' trick so if your wound is elsewhere ...probably won't work.

Might be wrong but looks 'home made' to me. Possibly just made it for herself.

Oh! I forgot about the US Empire of Iwo Jima,Puerto Rico, American Samoa and any island with bird sh*t on it. My bad! 🤣 (And how small was our Empire when Mr Webster came along with his "English language for dummies 101" book tucked under his arm eh? EH?!) Ohh...I....umm, well if you insist Jewell! 😈 Brain fart meh!

Star Trek Online? "Cryptic Studios is an American video game developer specializing in massively multiplayer online role-playing games. It is headquartered in Los Gatos, California and is a wholly owned Perfect World subsidiary. Oh look....who would have guessed why the acronyms? 🙄 Yes, they really do. It's written in my constitution! Correct answer! (see kali..not hard is it?) 😊 It's used in parts of the UK by both sexes. TBH, I've always used it, along with "love" but have learnt to it's better not to on here! Bloody hard though! It's a 'legitimate' "peeve"! ...It's because I'm a "boomer" innit? 😣 Like I always say, "cats are so full of **it! Bloody animals trying to tell me how to spell and pronoUnce things! Get an "Empire" and THEN you can dictate things to people!

Peeve: Lazy ass'd Americans/people who now don't want to be recognised as "male/female". In short - their obsession with acronyms! * For years it's been like a little sniffley cold you get once a year, you know, the "lol"'s and the "roflmao"'s etc. I could deal with that, it's infected me in real life to a point where checking written letters and emails to "official" folk for spelling mistakes often throws up a couple of subconscious "lol"'s that slipped in there. However, it's now become a pandemic to rival Covid, if slightly less harmful! I mean, I'm a "Brit'", I live in Sweden, I shouldn't have to memorize 50 US States f***ing acronyms in case I happen to ask someone where they live! If the American I'm chatting to happens to be in or is ex military, (which it seems more of them have been than attended high school!) it becomes like talking with the first alien visitor from Sirius B! Yes, I know "it's an American game/simulation/forum so GTFO Boomer!" blah blah bollox, but they made them "International", so you have to deal with us and our International "peeves" too! 🙂 TL;DR - Stop being lazy c****! * Those acronyms I don't know or haven't deciphered yet. ** Thanks to Han Held for the swift translation of "amab" (I knew the gIRL one already). *** @BelindaN - Just how old are you in RL anyhow?...The people have a right to know! 🕵️‍♂️

Often attributed to him, it wasn't Voltaire who said that, it was his biographer in one of her books. Just saying.

Pffft, I don't hate anyone ffs! And where did I say the cat wasn't cute and adorable? Just people twisting and taking my words wrong again!...Woe, woe and thrice woe! 😥 I got slaughtered last time I joked with that line! 😟 @Scylla Rhiadra (because apparently I can't get quotes from 2 different pages ffs!) It was on another thread, I've forgotten which, where I said what Kira said up there. A few people got a bit peeved about it in there, I think you were one of them, is all.

Yes Beth, this was my only point I was making, not balanced for EITHER side of whichever coin it may be! I just believe it should be, is all. Sorry for the thread closure, wasn't my intention.

Guess that didn't work then? Sorry. I seem to be digging a hole again with folks, so I'll just stop digging. That's fair enough....and the BLM folk inciting me into it? The only point I'm trying to make is that there's rarely any equal balance with a lot of these things. So, I've been judged and condemned simply because I believe the scales should be equally balanced? ...well, ok, you're welcome I guess! Wouldn't work over the engine noise and my building blood pressure as I look at my watch! Don't see why I would have to really. They could just protest in the normal way without causing more anger by stopping people getting to or carrying out their work! But yeah, probably the accepted option I guess. Sorry for late responses. I'm in my fishing game and everytime I tab out to here my bite alarms kick off!

I'll try. Hmmm, ok....As a "white" truck driver on timed deliveries, if I get stopped on the "freeway" by a bunch of sat down BLM protestors, I'd be out of my truck dragging them off the road by the ears! Were THEY inciting racial violence by doing that that day? Not a lot seems to have happened to those folk that I know of? Were the people protesting their right to have the confederate flag inciting violence? Or was it the people attacking them and ripping down their flags? Just seems to me that it's one rule for one and another for others a lot of the time...."not balanced" kinda. I'm using the US to portray those scenarios because I don't even know what our bunch of lunatics call themselves these days, never mind what they're upto!

Who decides what the consequences are, what's hateful and what's good or bad "backlash"? If the "gay rights" person decides the "I don't" is hateful and punches them in the mouth as a consequence, everyone cheers! If the "I don't" person does this, they're castigated (putting it mildly)! All I'm saying is that if people want to scream "muh freedom of speech!" in the sense of everyone being able to say wtf they like, whenever, (in it's unofficial state of only applying to Governments) then it needs to be fairly a balanced freedom and they shouldn't complain or castigate someone who disagrees with them and shouts "My freedom of speech too!" And that seems to work differently too, depending which side you happen to be on! Wasn't meaning here Beth sorry. Meant in RL or elsewhere online. Should have made that clearer.

Of course, it's their choice.

Yup!...But it was the "many" I was reffering to worldwide, who see it as a personal and social right! So many people throw out the "you can't tell me I can't say that. Haven't you heard of "freedom of speech"?" defence/attack.....Sure we have, but if you want to take it that way then it should be done fairly. Someone says "black lives matter!" then someone says "no they don't", or "I believe in gay rights"....."well I don't!".....that person shouldn't be stoned to death as a "racist and homophobic pig!" They're just expressing their own personal opinions on the subjects. If the first person (and the multitudes that follow) says ".....ok, fair enough"....THEN you have a balanced "freedom of speech"! Everyone also has the right to their own opinion.

Meh! She gave up all rights to this thread when she became a fluffy ball of claws! 😁

Haw haw haw...FU! lol I'll have you know I'm a 'Grand Master' 4th dan at that activity tyvm! (The problems start when I add a female into the equation! That's when your post tends to become reality!) 😳

...Shut social media platforms down now I just read on the BBC, because twitter put 'fact check' links on his tweets! 😂🙄 Warned you about that 13 hours ago Fairre! 😆

Which is odd, considering Victoriagrwd posts loads "very close to the line" and gets a bazillion likes! 😆 (I'm a "fan" btw...no idea why? ) 🙂 Actually, Scylla may have been one of those that jumped on me for it! 😂

Dunno, we just stick a "X" next to the preffered name and whoever has the biggest pile of X's at the end...wins! Seems easier to me? Don't hold ya breath!

Yeah it's ok Fairre, wasn't pointing fingers at you or anything. There are many things about the US that baffles me....none more so than that!

This^^ And, "freedom of speech"?....It's just a myth! It's something that cannot exist without a 50/50 balance and the moment someone disagrees with what someone else has said, that balance usually tips to 90/10. That isn't "freedom" of anything!

Been to bed, made breakfast, flicked through reddit, came here to find only ½ a page more has been added since my last visit. I think I've woken up on a parallel world! 😲 ....Dunno wtf to do for the next 3 hours now ffs! 🙄
